INDONESIA: BONKING BANS AND POLITICAL PROTESTS

Asia/Pacific, News & Politics

Sex sells!  It’s a well-documented truth. The media uses it all the time. But what if you are trying to stop people having sex?  Well that will certainly get a rise out of people too!  Here we look at the contentious, salacious and outrageous proposed law in Indonesia to criminalise any sex outside of marriage – gay or straight.

This proposed law comes off the back of rising homophobia over the past few years in Indonesia.  And there is one man who has seen it all before.  Dede Oetomo is a long-time Indonesian LGBT advocate – and founder of Gaya Nusantara (https://gayanusantara.or.id/) – which has been fighting for LGBTI rights in Indonesia for 30 years.  Find out if he is concerned about this proposed new law and its implications for LGBTI people from Indonesia and abroad.
